Yes.

I love the 208. Well done sir.

Well unless the discipline you're shooting is mandatory iron sights the newer Olympic pistols are a lot easier to mount a dot sight on, and that alone is a big advantage over the older guns. I still own my Benelli MP95E, and I do like it but factory support is non existent these days. It still makes souped up Ruger MK series and Volquartsens etc look silly in comparison.

You might be surprised. If your current pistol is something like a Ruger MK-II etc you might be surprised how much your scores will go up shooting a purpose built bullseye rimfire pistol.

If I were buying one today it would be a Pardini.

I was shooting for a college, so it made the ammo bill….. free for me!…. a lot easier to put up with. Practice ammo for the team was CCI Green Tag, and in some cases it was match ammo too depending on the gun and the lot number. My Benelli MP95E really liked a particular lot of Green Tag but it still shot Eley Tenex better. So important matches that would determine national ranking for the University or individual ranking or invitations to nationals we busted out whatever was the best shooting ammo we knew of for a particular pistol.

CCI Standard Velocity and CCI Green Tag used to be my go to ammo for reasonably priced training ammo in .22LR pistols and rifles. Used to burn a lot of Green Tag training and then sight in with Eley Ten-X and shoot matches with that. Figure in a Bullseye pistol match the Eley (or other premium match ammo) might be worth a 2-3% increase in score. Worth it for a match but not cost effective for training.

It will be challenging to access on the off side of you have the light mounted in front of something like a front sight post. Otherwise not a problem. If I moved the light ahead of the front sight on this carbine the light would be nearly even with the muzzle, and get blasted with carbon.

Here is what access to the switch looks like from the opposite side shoulder. As long as the rail isn’t totally stupid in size, or you have tiny hands it’s a non issue.

The light is admittedly a chonky girl, but the big reflector up front really throws the light so it has a high lumen and candela output. Runs on 18650 rechargeable batteries and comes with a charger. Actually not as heavy as it looks, and the mounting body is reversible so you can just swap the tail with the head on the opposite side of the rail and run it on the left. Switch is easily accessible (assuming you have man length arms....) with either hand regardless of which side the light body is on.

Here is the current set up. Forgive the work bench looking like a work bench.

Didn’t take photos yet, but finally got my Geissele order of an Aimpoint Comp M5 and lower 1/3 cowitness Geissele mount delivered the other day. Installed the sight to the mount with Loctite torqued to 12in-lbs per screw torqued in cross sequence. Mount is machined from a billet of 7075-T6 aluminum, and so is the Comp M5 so no helicoils needed. I love Aimpoint’s micro mount interface with an integral recoil slot machined into the bottom of the sight, with the Geissele mount having a corresponding lug that is a snug fit. The mount also has two lugs on the bottom that fit into the 1913 Picatinny rail on the upper receiver, with a 1/2” nut cross bolt securing it all torqued to 65in-lbs which should be around 1250-1300lbs/sq-in of clamping force. I mounted it to my Knights Armanent Co. SR-15 E3 Mod 2 16” 5.56 NATO carbine. Hit the range that evening to put a 50/200 yard zero on it. Zeroing went smoothly with IMI M855 62gr steel core ammo, M855 isn’t exactly known for accuracy but the IMI is more consistent than Winchester in my guns and this held the black of a B8 bullseye target at 200 yards with a non magnifying optic so I can’t bitch. With a 2 MOA dot covering 4” out there bullets we’re landing under or on the edges of the dot. The Aimpoint Comp M5 and T2 both have excellent glass and for my eyes both provide a crisp dot, with edge for my astigmatism going to the Comp M5. Adjusting the windage and elevation was no problem and the clicks seemed to track according to specs. The Comp M5 runs on ubiquitous AAA batteries so you can get them anywhere. This particular carbine doesn’t seem to give a shit what ammo it is fed in the 62gr-77gr weight class with a 50/200 zero it will shoot pretty well POA=POI without any pressing need to make sight adjustments. So I zeroed with the IMI because I have a lot of it on hand. A brief couple of groups with Hornady Black 62gr and IMI 77gr Sierra Match Kings gave much much better groups, that were near enough the same POA=POI that I’m satisfied. It’s red dot sight equipped carbine, it’s simple put dot on target press trigger from point blank to 200 yards. Currently set up this way so my wife can pick it up and repel boarders if needed, as it’s currently the lightest handiest AR I have. It was wearing a magnified optic but will be set up this way until I tax stamp another lower as an SBR and build a proper 12.5” house gun with a quiet maker on it. Weapon light is a Cloud Defensive OWL, which I am very pleased with so far, but I will concede that on a longer rail it’s tough for a shorter statures shooter to reach the integrated pressure pad if the light is pushed up all the way forward.

Uh….. I have to venture a guess that English is not your first language.

My garage is 258” deep from garage door to back wall/back door. Leaving 1” of clearance off each end for door hardware that gives me 256” to play with. A GMC Sierra 2500 Crew Cab 4X4 standard bed is 250.8” long. Only 5.2” of leeway is a pretty damn tight fit. In comparison a 2022 Tundra Crew Max 4X4 with a 5.5’ bed is 233.6” long and the same cab with a 6.5’ is 245.6” long. That leaves quite a bit more room for error.

I’m not sure some new Toyota’s are living up to their reputation either. Witness the first model year of the all new Gen 3 Tundra. I’ve been waiting for a new truck for quite awhile and Toyota isn’t covering themselves in glory with this one. So I’ll wait out this moronic auto market for another year and see if they can unfuck themselves. If not I am not sure what I will do, I despise AFM/DOD equipment going on V8’s because it causes reliability issues. Twin Turbo V6 gasoline engines have their own foibles *looking at you Ford and now Toyota*. I’m not a big fan of the small diesels in 1/2 tons because they are anemic up top at making horsepower, and I drive two lane highways where the 50-80mph passing power is a non negotiable requirement for me. So that points towards either midsize trucks that are more simple, but too small, or 3/4 ton trucks. I have a strong aversion to 3/4 tons for my uses even though a guy can buy a strait forward NA gas V8 with no DOD nonsense, or a monster HD Diesel engine with power for days. Thing is I don’t tow regularly or haul heavy regularly enough to justify one, and when they aren’t being worked and loaded down they ride like a lumber wagon. Plus none of them fit easily in my garage with a crew cab and 6.5’-6.75’ bed, where a 1/2 ton crew cab with a 5.5’ bed will no problem.

Fixed that for you.

Your wife’s name is GE?

2025 looks pretty good, do they also turn the audio all the way down so the audience doesn’t have to hear the lame ass music and dialogue? That would be ideal.

That’s like saying Rottweiler shit is the most fragrant dog shit. At the end of the day it’s still dog shit.

Yep soy based plastics. Environmentalists are stupid and ruin more things than they help.

I already told you how to get a loaner. If the car is out of service over 30 days in the first year you might be able to lemon law it. Then go buy something not made by Germans.

If it was real wool it would be cool, but also would cost $300+.

Man, that’s a bummer. Does she know her ring only cost $189? Or you mean the fleece? If that is the case it was $188.50 too much.

Holy shit that fleece looks like something that should come with a free bowl of soup at the Salvation Army.
